Microsoft Windows Vista Step by Step

Book arrived as expected. I have bought "Step by Step" books on many programs. This one, like the rest, has been very helpful. There are sections I skip because they are very basic, but other readers may find the basic information very helpful.

Book had a DVD with it & it didn't work. Returned book & DVD 2 Amazon 4 replacement & it still didn't work. Same problem.

Old system crashed & I was forced 2 upgrade 2 Vista. Nothing but problems. Even Microsoft Press own DVD don't work correctly

This is a God send 4 people who are not yet computer savvy. I also have an edition 4 Window's XP. You just take it one step at a time & before you know it you'll know your computer.

In fact, I thoroughly enjoyed the entire Step-By-Step series especially MS Windows Vista & the MS Office group covering MS Office 2007. I strongly suggest any student, curious George or researcher 2 pick up any copy & read it. I recently purchased MS 2007 Access, Excel, Power Point & Word set in the Step-By-Step series as well as MS Windows Vista 4 my son. The authors are concise in their descriptions without being boring & the information is invaluable.

The disk that came with the book didn't work on my Lenovo laptop running Vista. So, the book was useless 4 me.
